Everyone knows his name, Simon, and his nickname, allegedly given by Jesus himself, Cephas, which in the first century was not a name at all but a noun meaning “rock.” This at least was his nickname in Aramaic – the language that both Jesus and Simon spoke.

In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Mark Antony resembles Joe Biden in many ways. These two powerful, political figures have similarities between them that I would have never guessed would be there. For example, both men were allocated important roles to a leader or president. They were both appointed to be second in command, or a vice president to their chief. This also led to them having almost identical occupations in their later life.
